Grand Canyon National Park Hand-Drawn Map

- $29.99
Original hand-drawn pen and ink/watercolor story map of one of the most prized natural gems of not only the United States but North America, the Grand Canyon and Grand Canyon National Park. Situated in the southwest United States mostly in the state of Arizona, the Grand Canyon extends 277 miles touching three other states: Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. This geologic marvel attracts millions of people a year to observe the stunning canyon which formed by tectonic uplift creating the Colorado Plateau through which the Colorado River eroded over millions of years to result in the famous canyon. This map showcases the canyon as being located within the Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Indian Reservation (western part of the park), Havasupai Indian Reservation to the east, as well as bordering the Kaibab National Forest to the south.
Years of erosion have created not only a canyon with a major depth of 6,000 ft, but also erosion has resulted in the formation of a multitude of various smaller canyons found within the larger canyon. Included in the park and canyon are famous features such as: the Colorado River, Sanup Plateau, Kanab Plateau, Shivwits Plateau, Powell Plateau, Kaibab Plateau, Marble Plateau, Zoroaster and Brahma Temple, Isis Temple, Cheops Pyramid, Freya Castle, Vishau Temple, Malgasa Crest, and Wotan’s Throne.
People from across the globe come to not only marvel at the beauty of the canyon and the park, but also to observe the unique wildlife and plants such as: Diamondback Rattlesnakes, California Condors, Bald Eagles, Mountain lions, Desert Bighorn Sheep, Desert Gopher tortoises, Humpback Chubs, Beavertails cacti, and yucca plants. Visitor enjoy activities such as hiking, camping, rafting (the Colorado River features 80 whitewater rapids!), as well as visiting historic and natural sites such as Havasu Falls, the Grand Canyon Railway, El Tovar Hotel, Kolb Studio, and the Yavapai Observation Station.
